Pros

Decent pay at first Amazing people Educated colleagues Probably the best 401k match at 6% Unlimited PTO

Cons

Not gona go crazy here but def could. Workload is unbelievable. My department is grossly understaffed and has been this way for well over a year. Despite consistent requests to management to hire at least one more person for our team, our managers swap out before we get any leeway! I’m on my 4th manager in just over a year. This is a huge issue because every time someone new comes in, they change up things a lot. I’m in too many meetings that are pointless and have so much work to be done that i decided to stop trying to keep my to-do list together. I wouldn’t keep this job if i got paid double what i get paid currently. What stinks is that the people i work with are pretty awesome, but i feel like i never see them that much anymore because they are so busy.

Pros

Covista is an organization that has a clear vision and does well in actively pursuing that vision. Covista is willing to adapt, try new things, and trusts its employees to find success. When Covista has fallen short of goals, they have been honest about it, quickly pivoted to address those areas, and then celebrate when we achieve goals. Overall - I am very happy here at Covista. My favorite part of working here is the people. Covista has a culture in which care isn't a buzzword, but is practiced.

Cons

I do wish Covista was more relaxed with RTO expectations. I am not angry about it, and generally am in favor for an in office experience, but wish it was not 4 days a week. 3 days a week feels right. This is a very small 'con' as generally, I am very pleased with Covista.

Pros

My colleagues are amazing. Everyone is fully dedicated to their work and our mission.

Cons

Without a doubt, top leadership is corrupt and driven by profit. They do not care about their staff and only care about themselves. The CEO literally made $17,244,988 in total compensation for the 2025 fiscal year; however, there were countless of hardworking colleagues who were let go. I am not sure how to make sense of that and why someone can make so much and be so heartless. I say this, as I know many senior leaders at the individual university level who were let go just because he woke up one day and wanted to go in a different direction. The schools are run by the CEO who is an attorney and has no concept when it comes to healthcare other than increasing tuition to vulnerable students who might otherwise not have an opportunity to earn a degree. It is sickening. I wish shareholders would replace the CEO, but he is untouchable given how much revenue he was brought in. He can host his town halls to try to relate to us, but everyone sees through him.
